Chowchilla Fair 2011
Well we got really busy this year and entered quite a few items in the fair! The kids were overjoyed to find out what they won. Elyse got BEST OF SHOW for her apron, Chandler and Caeden got first place on their Ferris Wheel models and display, and Ava got first place on the little water bottle holder she knitted. Then Chandler got 2nd place on his barn watercolor painting and Elyse got 3rd on her still life photo. Here are some pictures!

St Patrick's Day Irish Toy Making!
What a perfect opportunity to use this awesome kit my brother and sister in law bought Caeden in Ireland for Christmas! Gabe and Nichol had a wonderful trip and brought back some really neat souvenirs, including this metal toy casting kit that we have been looking forward to using for awhile now. Figured no better day than St. Paddy's to do it! Enjoy....
Melting the metal....
Tapping the mold...
Ahhhhh....hopes are high!
Voila!
Setting the mold up again...
A whole set!
Painting the masterpieces...
All our supplies all set out...
A beautiful toy soldier!
Mighty in battle!!!

Spring on Brentwood
Well I know Spring is not here to stay just yet....we still have several weeks of rain and wind which I will enjoy and not complain about. However, I couldn't help but to take a few moments to capture a few glimpses of what spring is hiding behind the March winds and April showers!

The Science Loving Family!
Here at Discovery Tree Learning Centre, science is a highlight that absolutely cannot be missed. Not for one day. Sometimes we do science even on weekends! Of course I don't mind a bit! (not really haha)
I wanted to share with other homeschool moms this great vendor called Science Academy for Kids. I love their kits because everything is pre-packaged and ready to go and comes with a handy instruction and lab booklet. We recently finished the"Rocks and Minerals" kit and thoroughly enjoyed it. They have an internet linked learning program as well as online quizzes and tests which makes it really fun and thorough.
These photos are of Caeden and Ava experimenting with "sedimentary layers" and fossils.
